Sharyl Attkisson is an unreasonable woman. Important people have told her so.
When the longtime CBS reporter asked for details about reinforcements sent to the Benghazi compound during the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack, White House national security spokesman Tommy Vietor replied, “I give up, Sharyl . . . I’ll work with more reasonable folks that follow up, I guess.”
Another White House flack, Eric Schultz, didn’t like being pressed for answers about the Fast and Furious scandal in which American agents directed guns into the arms of Mexican drug lords. “Goddammit, Sharyl!” he screamed at her. “The Washington Post is reasonable, the LA Times is reasonable, The New York Times is reasonable. You’re the only one who’s not reasonable!”
Two of her former bosses, CBS Evening News executive producers Jim Murphy and Rick Kaplan, called her a “pit bull.”
That was when Sharyl was being nice.
Now that she’s no longer on the CBS payroll, this pit bull is off the leash and tearing flesh off the behinds of senior media and government officials. In her new memoir/exposé “Stonewalled: My Fight for Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction, Intimidation, and Harassment in Obama’s Washington” (Harper), Attkisson unloads on her colleagues in big-time TV news for their cowardice and cheerleading for the Obama administration while unmasking the corruption, misdirection and outright lying of today’s Washington political machine.

The media gave us Clinton and Obama (16 years of irreparable rot) with the able assist of Dole, McCain, and Romney.
Don’t have to read the book to decide if CBS News or Attkisson is more trustworthy but I will, it’s a no brainer.
Excellent piece, thanks for the ping.
Perhaps Bernie G. was already a well known commentator and an established Washington Beltway writer, whereas Ms. Attkisson has needed to re-invent and repackage herself after leaving a longtime employer where she was for the most part, faceless. She’s a beautiful woman with high energy, so this enhances the brand all the more.
Why has Fox News not signed her up yet? Or at least Glen Beck. She could be another Laura Logan, or the Thinking Man’s Megan Kelly, no insult to Megan either.
Ping!
No shit, Sherlock.

Blasphemy!!! There is but only one Megan!! ;-)
“Yet she’ll still line up and vote Dem.”
What is your basis for that assertion?
Atkisson runs an excellent website you may enjoy reading every day for her fearless reporting:

Yet she’ll still line up and vote Dem.
..............
And you know that how, TT?(TT=troll turd)
mind sharing how you came to that conclusion?
I’ve seen her on Fox.
That when scandals, or any sort of dustup occurs amongst Dem's (think Lewinsky), they tend to point fingers of blame at everything but their fundamental ideology.
what does that have to do with Atkinson? Did you even read the article?
